Turbo Goose

Hi guys, has anyone got an engine stand i could borrow who around lincolnshire? Would only need for a week! I would buy one as they are about 50 quid new but i will literally use it once and then it would be stuck in the shed taking up room and most likely never used again. If anyone could help i would greatly appreciate it! Thanks a lot, Dan

How quickly do you need one? mine will be available in few weeks if thats any good. Will do cheap as well, no smoke on or off boost and spools really well.

Ive got an emanage blue and get it mapped at racetech

I plan for 270+ bhp so i think id be pushing around 1.4bar (correct me if thats off)

Hi guys. My forged engine is nearly complete i just need a headgasket! Ive been advised on a paseo 0.5mm headgasket Athena are about £100 where as paseo ones can be had for around £30 I have 8.5:1 wiseco pistons and will be running a td04 Just wondering if a .5 headgasket would give to high compression, should i opt for a thicker athena 1 eventhough they are 3x the price? Thanks guys, Dan

What gets me is people wanting 200-300 for a plastic coin holder thing, what they called safe boxes, mutiboxes whatever they are. I'd like to meet the person who pays this so I could laugh at them once and walk off

Literally take the old sender out, fit the remote braided line in there with the adaptor on the end for 2 senders. Screw the old sender and new sender into the adaptor. Done! And obvs wire in new oil pressure gauge to the new sender. Make sure the male end that screws into the block is 1/8 BSPT thread and the adaptor has 1 female 1/8 BSPT thread and 1 female 1/8 NPT thread

U will either need a decent micrometer or get a machine shop to measure them

I agree that its weird acl only do one size but toyota do 3! I emailed idrees a while back to see if he could tell me the sizes for standard acl but didnt hear anything. Heres the limits from toyota for each size of bearing Big-end inner diameter: STD mark 1 = 43.000-43.007mm STD mark 2 = 43.007-43.014mm STD mark 3 = 43.014-43.021mm Main journal diameter: STD mark 0 = 46.995-47.000mm STD mark 1 = 46.990-46.995mm STD mark 2 = 46.985-46.990mm http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?27568-4EFTE-Torque-Specs

I thought imports have no uk equivalent so cant be tested for emissions? Read it on here somewhere i think

Cheers dude just ordered 1

Hi guys, been told aftermarket oil pressure senders are 1/8 NPT and standard thread size is 1/8 BSPT Is this the adaptor i will need to fit an aftermarket sender as well as the standard 1? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=351242250180&alt=web

Basically i paid 820 for 74.5mm wiseco pistons, scat rods and king full bearing set delivered. TD have this for 750 without bearings. Good deal in my eyes http://www.tuningdevelopments.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=502_520_589&products_id=323

As for reboring the cylinder, my wiseco pistons came with a spec sheet with clearances on. Not sure if its as simple as boring to 74.5mm. Mine had a clearance of 30 thou i 'think' cant remember exactly was deffo 0.0030 inch or 0.00030 inch. So they measure the piston and bore the cylinder with the correct clearance

I purchased the same kit dude from great buy guy im guessing. Tbh id get the whole kit from TD as they have an offer on for rods, pistons, headgasket, shells and headbolts for 1k! I paid about £650 from america delivered but then parcelforce charge £170 in fees! My block is currently getting notched atm as scat H beam requires it

Thats the one on gumtree, send a link. Its from berkshire

Merry christmas!

Will look forward to seeing how it performs might be worth a go

You sound a bit like me colin with all these bargains you find. most of the bits on my car havent even come from the UK. Would rather pay less and wait 2 weeks tbh. Can you pm me the link to the clutch please

hu guys, just been browsing some clutches. typed some part numbers into google and a few are coming up as 4age (ae86, ae92 etc) Do they run the same clutch as our starlets?

You will see this up for 4k next week at high wycome!

No worries dude! Cheers for the feedback

Spreading a bit of christmas good will! I'll go in for the mirrors and fte rocker cover!
